Kelsea Ballerini Teases Dreamy Song ‘I Sit In Parks’ & Reveals New Project ‘Mount Pleasant’

Kelsea Ballerini is set to release her latest project, the six-song EP Mount Pleasant, on Nov. 14. Ballerini will preview the set via the release of her new song, “I Sit In Parks,” on Friday (Nov. 7). In the process, the singer-songwriter is ushering in her new creative era.

The Mount Pleasant project will include the tracks “I Sit in Parks,” “People Pleaser,” “Emerald City,” “587,” “The Revisionist” and “Check on Your Friends,” according to Ballerini’s social media post on Nov. 6.

Earlier this week, Ballerini teased the forthcoming release by posting a video on her socials that showed Ballerini swinging on a swingset in a park. The video was captioned simply with the phrase “I Sit In Parks.”

The new project follows Ballerini’s 2024 project, Patterns, which was her first album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart. Patterns included the single “Baggage,” as well as the Noah Kahan collaboration “Cowboys Cry Too.”

At this year’s ACM Awards, Ballerini was nominated for the entertainer of the year accolade, as well as for female artist of the year and music event of the year (the latter for her Kahan collab). Ballerini is also nominated for female vocalist of the year at the upcoming CMA Awards, slated to take place in Nashville later this month.

Earlier this year, Ballerini spearheaded her 2025 Live On Tour trek, which ran from January through March. More recently, Ballerini also attended several high-profile events, including honoring Kenny Chesney during his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, and attending the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City.
